ICOS Carbon Portal Webinar Series

The Carbon Portal Webinar Series is on hold, but exciting talks are taking place at ICOS Cities.

This series of webinars will guide you to find, preview and use ICOS data. We will start with a gentle introduction to our web services and over the course of the series we will gradually shift the focus from finding data objects and simple plots towards data science. But each webinar is self contained with a different focus, hence you can pick and choose. You don't need to attend all of them. We do not have any prerequisites and  you don't need to be programmer to follow the webinars (although it helps if you have a general idea about programming). We will introduce you to Python and Jupyter Notebooks and give you access to our virtual research environment (https://icos-carbon-portal.github.io/jupyter/).

For all webinar registrations you need to agree and accept the ICOS ERIC privacy policy, which states how ICOS is handling your personal information.

Please direct any questions you have to jupyter-info@icos-cp.eu.

Introduction to ICOS Data

An introduction to ICOS' different data levels, including near real time data, officially released data, and collections followed by a quick overview how to search data products on the data portal. This includes how to preview and download data and the search result. The hands-on workshop demonstrates how to access data (objects) in a python environment on our Jupyter Hub, read the meta data and create a simple plot.

Notebooks on “Exploredata”

An introduction to the Carbon Portal Virtual Research Environment. Short description of personal accounts and collaborative project space for registered users. Demonstrate our public available resources on https://exploredata.icos-cp.eu. The workshop includes an in depth walk through our example Jupyter Notebooks.

Notebooks for Atmospheric Stations

Recap how to use our Carbon Portal Virtual Research Environment, including public available resources, personal accounts, and collaborative project space. In depth walk through our notebooks for atmospheric stations (on exploredata and in common on jupyter hub) with examples for station characterization, flask sampling strategy and 14CO2 data analysis.

”icoscp”,  the Carbon Portal python library in depth

An in depth look a the public available python library. How to install and use the library on your own computer (https://pypi.org/project/icoscp/). Workshop on our Jupyter Server: Access ICOS time series data, tips and tricks, customize your search with saved SparQL queries etc. Further we have a look at the Github repository and how to find the documentation as well as encouraging everybody to get involved in the development. Provide ‘issues’ and general feedback from a users point of view.

Drop-in

You have questions about how to dig into the details of ICOS data and metadata? Got questions about the code in one of our Notebooks? We would like to give you the opportunity to ask questions and/or start a discussion in connection with the topics covered so far in this webinar series (Jupyter Notebooks, Python, Carbon Portal Data Access). Come join our online drop-in event. The ICOS Elaborated Products team will be there to discuss. You can send us your question beforehand (jupyter-info@icos-cp.eu) and/or drop-in and join us anytime, we don't have a specific schedule planned.
